Thanks for the reply maybefixit! I really have to deal with the rusty tank issue more than anything. I may try muriatic acid because only the bottom of the tank is rusty - probably water that sat in there for ages. I imagine I would have to flush the tank out over and over with water after...

Sea Foam additive I think this is what I was told to buy for my genset fuel tank by another GL customer up at Redstone Aresenal; he told me it was "expensive" and that it was - $8.00 for one 16 ounce can! I hope it does something for my genset after this investment! Smells just like denatured...

I am anxious to see the finished product! It's nice to see you are a Florida resident too! Jacksonville is several hours north of me but I would drive up to see your towbar once it is finished. I spent a lot more for my towbar feet than you but that's all I have towards a towbar right now...

MEP002a The genset that I won from Redstone was missing the center rail on my M116 trailer so I installed one today thanks to parts that I had from some fiberglass troop seats. I even used the bolts and nuts from the troop seats for the application and the results were better than I expected...

Randy, I'll be happy to provide closeup photos and the measurements for the ground rods and connectors first thing in the morning. When I worked at Florida Power & Light back in 1967, I used to issue the same ground rods and connectors to the linemen on a daily basis so I know these are...

There's another additive that I was told about when I was up at Redstone retrieving my MEP002a genset that does something to clean out your fuel tank and injectors while it flows through the system and I forgot the name of it. The fuel in the tank in the genset was nasty looking stuff and the...

Not yet - will try to see if it will turn over this afternoon but will have to use the jumper cable route (batteries are practically dead). I want to purge the fuel tank and change the fuel filters and the oil in the motor before trying to fire it up. It has 1833 hours on the meter so this...

You were right about the staves. They are for stowage of the four bows. Once I obtained the TM I went right to the page you provided and it was obvious what these were for. Thank you very much!

Really coming along there! Did that transmission that you got from me do you any good? I still haven't put that exhaust part on my deuce yet! Also need to get tickets to the meet pretty soon. I was wondering if you were going to put a tilt wheel in your truck along with all the other...

We just got back from Redstone on Wednesday. Picked up an MEP002a genset & trailer and hauled it home on the back of a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Redstone is a bear to get to from Florida! Once you get there, security on base is pretty serious - don't bring any firearms or other contraband or...

mep002a Genset Just got mine home from Redstone Aresenal. What a long trip for a genset! We took our Toyota Highlander Hybrid instead of the M1008A1 which was a great idea because of the weather - freezing cold in Huntsville! We stayed on base at the Redstone Inn ($50.00 per night) and the...

Thanks for the info Mangus580! I don't think that will be too hard on the Toyota. I hauled a couple of loads of 900x20 deuce tires and rims and about a 1000 pounds of other parts quite a distance a while back and I know that load weighed more than the genset & trailer. Nice to know about the...

Anyone know the approximate weight of the genset and trailer combo? Brinhing the lady along for the ride to retrieve my 5KW and we are substituting the Toyota Highlander Hybrid for the M1008 (for confort reasons mainly). Just concerned that the weight might exceed the towing limitations in the...

Very nice job! I bought a set (5ea) of the 12 bolt H1 rims with wrangler radials and need to get to work on a lift kit for my M1008A1. Locally there's a Craig's List ad for a set of four of the 8- bolt H1 rims for $350.00 (Palm Bay Florida, Spacecoast edition of Craig's List). I am interested...

Thanks Bjorn! It may help. I tried to do everything that the manual said regarding test entries and then vehicle code entry after that but could not get to do any tests when hooked into the cannon plug inside the truck (M1008). I have not tried hooking into just the battery so that will be...

Glad Hand Auxillary Air Tank I just uploaded another Youtube video about using an in-line auxillary air tank in conjunction with the glad hand emergency air outlet at the back of the deuce. I took pictures of some of the parts needed to accomplish this which are obtainable at Harbor Freight...

Well thanks for trying! I may take the unit apart to see if there is anything inside that might be a clue to the mystery. I just noticed that you are a garand owner too. I have an M1 garand sniper rifle with the cheekpiece and the side mount scope - very accurate! If you are going to the...

Some of the info on the case is as follows: Vehicle Test Meter Programmed With Software 1-8 93 0. There's a bar code on the front with 420KY (probably abbreviation for KY jelly the way I feel about this STE/ICE kit right now). The unit is made by RCA under contract No. DAAE07-87-C-A035...

Not sure what the source code is but I am guessing it has something to do with the government acquisition of the item? Also wanted to mention that I did get a response when hooking into the data cable but when I punched in the code for my vehicle I only got error messages. Airmech, I...

I have tried to program an STE/ICE kit to accept inputs from my M1008A1 without success. I continue to get an error readout to indicate newer or updated software is needed for my application. My question is, have any members used their STE/ICE kits on their CUCVs where they actually work? If...
